Declining newspaper readership has nothing to do with journalism, argues City University professor Adrian Monck. The decline of Vaudeville had very little to do with the declining effectiveness of one-liners and the relative merits of novelty acts... The decline of drive-in movie theatres was not the fault of Hollywood screenwriters... The crops did not fail because we offended the gods. The problems journalists are confronting are to do with the changing social habits of people who once purchased newspapers and were thus appealing to advertisers. Is he right? (Via Adrian Monck)
